# Error type IDs

Error type IDs enable consistent error detection and response without parsing unstructured messages. Recipes use error type IDs to group related failures or target specific cases.

Workato surfaces structured metadata in job errors that you can reference in Monitor actions for error blocks.

Field Description
error_type_id Stable identifier for the error type.
error_type Display name for the error.
error_id Unique identifier for the specific error instance.
error_message High-level summary of what occurred.
